,,. JOSEPH R. HENMON. fJoeJ The game is up Joe landed June 7, 1888-right here in town. He was evidently only a little shaver at the time, but the first thing Joe did upon register- ing was to give a hideous football yell in some unintelligible jargon. As he waxed in years, he also waxed in mind and stature. Upon en- tering college he took up the scientific course and girlology:l' later he joined the fratg still later he added baseball to his schedule, and, say what you will, he never flunked out on third base and he stayed there two years. AGNES EKBLAD.qAgyey She is pretty to walk with, and witty to talk withjand pleasant to think on. 11 Agnes, she of the laughing eyes. and curly locks, happened February 5, 1888 in Linds- borg, Kansas. When interviewed, she was not inclined to say much regarding her early his- tory but we have learned from other sources that she was a nice little girl when she en- tered Model School in her sixth year, and also when she finished. She entered first year Academy the following autumn and has en- rolled with the class of 1908 each succeeding year. Agnes has been a member of the Lyce- um Society and of the -Y. VV. C. A. She has been the originator of several class entertain- ments as well. Her future is not all in doubt f And they lived happily ever after. later still, Joe joined the Corduroy club and-- became-a 'tsportf' YNGVE NYVALL.CCowndJ Let the world slip. let the world go, A fig for care, a fig for woe. The Colonel, that nice boy with light hair and blue eyes, was born in 1886 at Jonkoping, Sweden. His common school education was finished when he came to this country in 1900. He entered Augustana Academy in 1901 and finished his preparatory work there. He en- tered Bethany as a Freshman in 1904. His course has been one of science thruout. For the last three years, he has been coach of the basketball teams. Nyvall was one of the heroes of the first smoke stack episode. He was a charter member of the Frat and the Porduroys, thus proving that he's a jolly, good fellow. Ask the girls, they know. 1 . Page Twenty-nine

Julia entered Bethany Academy in 1902 as a member of the class of 1907, but she forsook them and returned this year to gradu- ate with the bunch. John won't say why she stayed out last year but in secret we think it was to learn the fine art of housekeeping. Midnight Sun at Boshult, Sweden, September 27, 1880.

Mary Good hails from Salem, Nebraska, and calls September 7, 1886 her birthday. She learned to read at three, entered school at five but was soon permitted to quit. Mary's career has been a wandering one. Suffice it to say' she finished her migrations at fourteen and graduated from Burr Oak High school, Burr Oak, Kansas, at sixteen. Having received a scholarship from Dr. Swensson, she came to Bethany. She matriculated in the Normal De- partment but changed later to a college course. Her intense devotion to her work has won the respect of all. After graduation, the profession of teaching will demand her attention for at least two yearsg farther than that her plans are indefinite. , - 1--.-1
